Supercharger - Issaquah, WA (LIVE 10/8/2018)

[Seattle]

Saturday update. The holes in the ground look the same, but they have the charging panels installed, back to back lines of 4, back in.

 

[pc757]

So each panel can charge two cars? otherwise only 4 cars, too less.

my picture doesn't show it but the are 8 panels with pairs back to back. So 8 panels total.

And you could pull in either side.

They look asymmetric: the middle 6 are symmetric, but the one on the right doesn't seem to have a mate, and there's one on the left that's partially obscured by some construction stuff that is the other one. It looks like maybe 5 could charge on one side, and 3 on the other?

They are asymmetric, but that's how you get 4 cars on each side. Remember that the charging port is always on the back left of the vehicle. Look at the picture in this post on the previous page:

You'll see that on this near side, where everyone keeps taking the pictures, they are all with the flat front facing out into the parking lot at the "back" of where you would back in the car. But on the far side, there are three like that at the back of the parking space, but then there is one that is turned sideways and is along the side of the parking space.

Driving from LA to the Seattle area this weekend and this location would be so perfect if it were done in time but not holding my breath. Think I'll have to swing up to Lynnwood at one point to fill up or find some L2 solution somewhere.

There are lots of 200+ v 30+ amps chargers, check on plugshare.

They seem to be getting really close to completion. Landscaping was going in today. It looks like the electrical is not finished quite yet, tho.

 

[Wynn]

Fencing is gone. Lines are painted. This thing is going to be open any day now.

 

[Mokuzai]

Maybe I should start holding my breath...

Don’t pass out Usually new SC installs are not powered on for a few days to a few weeks once all finished.

 

[Rocky_H]

This is looking pretty good for my late October trip.

Thanks @Wynn for the scouting! when you see that transformer pad (in blue) loaded with a heavy duty eletrical equipment and the last post goes in to the ground (so that people won't be able to ram into the high voltage connections), then we can check for the final inspection from WA LNI. THEN we will be good to go... Until then, breathe, just breathe.

Easy now. We have seen superchargers go months waiting on the transformer. Definitely agree with geoc on this one.

 

[alloverx]

And several hours later we have another view

 

[Kuhz]

I just hope the signs on those posts won’t have a #30 in them.....

 

[digicool]

Love this layout. the 2 corner chargers allows for some ICEing!! Open sided charger even allows charging with a trailer attached if both spaces are free.. very nice (read like Borat).

 

[ChadS]

No problem. I read everything like Borat.

 

[modamoda]

nitpick: They also need to paint on the ground "EV charging only"

Thursday night it still looks like the pic in geoc's posting (Supercharger - Issaquah, WA (Construction Started 11/3/17)). They haven't installed the transformed and haven't put the post to protect it yet.
